American Wife

Opis od wydawcy

`Honest, wonderful and smart as hell` - Guardian `Curtis Sittenfeld is in a league of her own` - Observer All I did is marry him. You are the ones who gave him power. Quiet, bookish Alice Blackwell never dreamed of being First Lady. Much less to a President whose politics she doesn`t believe in. On perhaps the most important day of her husband`s presidency, Alice looks back on the strange and unlikely path that led her to the White House, and to a decision - both treacherous and long overdue - that could jeopardise everything. Taking inspiration from real life, American Wife is a remarkable portrait of a woman caught between her feelings for her husband, her country, and herself. `My favourite book of the century` - HADLEY FREEMAN, GUARDIAN
